Chapter 1
We'll Meet Again
Ahsoka POV
I was running through the woods, trying to get away from my former squad of clones. Up until a few minutes ago they had been my friends. Now they were trying to kill me.
I was managing fine until I tripped over a tree limb and fell down. There was a searing pain in my ankle and I knew I had probably twisted it. There's no way to get out of this now, I thought. I had no choice but to stand up and fight.
I readied myself and was braced for an ambush when I heard screaming and blasters being fired. I raced in the direction of which I had come and came to the scene.
What I saw before me was truly an awesome, yet gruesome sight. The clone's bodies lay on the ground still spilling blood from the blaster wounds. I almost felt sorrow but then remembered that they had turned on me.
But when I saw who had defeated them I almost passed out. It was the same guy who I had met on Raxus. The same guy who had showed me that all Seperatists couldn't be that bad. The same guy that had kidnapped me and taken me to Death Watch. The same guy who had given me my first kiss.
Lux Bonteri.
"Ahsoka!" Lux cried as I said,"Lux!"
We raced toward each other but before I could wrap my arms around him something flashed behind him…. and impaled him with its lightsaber.
I screamed and Lux could do nothing more than crumple to his knees, mouth agape, and eyes locked on me.
I ran to Lux and knelt down beside him."Don't forget me", he gasped. I nodded, my eyes filled with tears."I love you", he said.
Then he died. I turned away from Lux. I couldn't take it anymore. I had lost too many people to count but this was the final insult. I stood up ready to slaughter the person who had killed the only person I had left but when I got up, I just stood there, mouth open, taking in this all too familiar person who looked like a stranger to me now.
The man looked down to me with cold blue eyes, that once had been full of joy and spirit, and said," Good to see you again".
Then he raised his lightsaber and lunged toward me and before I could be sliced to pieces I woke up.
As I shot up in the bed I tried to register what just happened. It wasn't the first time I had a dream like that. But it was the first time it had ended like that. Usually there was violence in my dreams but they always ended with Lux rescuing me from the threat, not rescuing me and then dying by the hands of another enemy.
But then I realized that the person in that dream had been a person I too loved, just in a different way than Lux.
Before I could even get out of bed, someone came into my room. I almost screamed for the person that came into my room was the same person who had killed my true love.
"Hey Snips!" he said, addressing me by the nickname he had given me so long ago, probably our first mission we had ever had together."Listen, the Council wants to meet us in the Chamber in thirty minutes, okay?"
"Okay", I said staring into his eyes, searching for any sign that these eyes had any coldness in them.
I must have been giving him a weird look because he asked," Um… Snips? Are you alright?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah just a little tired that's all," I lied.
"Oh… were you dreaming about a secret boyfriend last night then?" he said, a mischevious grin plastered on his face.
What? He can't possibly know that I'm in love with Lux Bonteri? I thought.
"Hey calm down, I was only kidding. Anyway remember, Council Room. Thirty minutes. Master Yoda says it's very urgent. Now hurry up and get ready," he said, leaving the room.
I tried to catch my breath as I realized that the man in the dream and the man that walked in to my room where the same person. And more often than not, most of the time when I dreamed, these dreams turned out to become premonitions. So basically the dream I had awoken from was destined to come true.
My master, Anakin Skywalker was going to kill the one and only person I had ever felt this way about.
Naturally I did the one thing that always comes to my mind I ever get upset about losing someone I care about.
I cried.
Thirty Minutes Later
After drying my eyes, washing off in the refresher, and putting my clothes on I rushed to the Council Room. Hoping not to be late I took a secret route to the Council Room and ended up there on time.
But what I didn't expect was to see an old friend, comrade, and first love.
"Ahsoka. Nice to see you could make it here on time," Master Windu said." I do believe you have met Lux Bonteri, haven't you?"
I just stood there mouth open, staring at the boy I had last seen seven months ago. His last words still rang in my ears.
"We'll meet again."
Lux Bonteri certainly was a man of his word.
